Dunvegan Community Trust are are currently working on a Community Action plan for the Dunvegan CC area, and would like to give neighbouring CC areas the opportunity to respond too, especially since the Dunevgan School catchment area includes Struan, and we might be able to coordinate some form of community transport in the future. The survey can be found here.

We have been informed that RJ McLeod will need to blast some stone on location. This work is planned to go ahead this week, on Wednesday 29 January. There will be two short blasts about 10 minutes apart, at around lunch time (exact timing is weather dependant). All the required safety measures will be put in place and a siren will announce each blast.
